Cost of car insurance for teen drivers

[Anonymous]

Hi,

While my oldest is more than a year away from driving, I have nieces and nephews who are teen drivers. Can you please tell me what you are paying per month for car insurance for your teen driver? Bc in Maryland, where I live, I believe it is about $500 per month, extra. Just checking to see if that can possibly be for real.

Our insurance premium increased 50% when a "youthful driver" was added to the policy. They're considered "youthful" until age 25.

That's what we are paying too as DC is considered a primary driver.

My DD and I share a 2013 car. We pay $125 a month. It used to be cheaper, but she hit a parked car.

I shudder to think how much it will be if/when she ever saves enough to get her own car.

PP here. They do not have to be put onto your insurance until they actually have their driver's license. So while your child has a learner's permit, you don't pay for more insurance. That was a big relief for me.
